5 Ways To Decrease Money On Your Energy Bills

America Debt Diet has some great advice in these challenging times.

Are average utility bills overpriced?

In my honest opinion, yes.

Apparently I am not alone, even our government is concerned about power bill prices which is why we are currently living in the age of deregulation for the utility companies.

What is deregulation?

According to Webster deregulation is the act or process of removing restrictions and regulations.

In the past we saw MaBell go through their own deregulation. Now we receive phone coverage from a variety of suppliers instead of just one.

If you know how to capitalize on deregulation we are seeing the utility companies going through the exact same process.

The question is, how do ordinary consumers stop losing money on power bills?

Here are Five ways this can happen.

  • Rethink
  • Redirect
  • Reevaluate
  • Reserve
  • Reduce

#1: Reduce the amount of energy you are using

Craziness can start here by not using power at all, unplugging the fridge and eliminating your hot water {access. For most of us this is a bit extreme and unnecessary. Instead, switch off lights that are not needed, unplugging energy hogs such as phone chargers and surge protectors when they are not in use and dressing according to the season that is upon you.

#2: Redirect how you are using energy.

For me this included adding proper insulation to our house as well as upgrading the windows to be much more energy saving than they had been. No matter if you are working in an office or a home front there are ways to keep you’re energy from simply leaving your dwelling.

#3: Rethink where your energy comes from

I’ve met some people who have reduced their average power bills by building their houses into a hill. Others capitalize upon savings in energy bills by turning to solar or wind solutions. These type of thoughts might not work for you, if they do it is something to consider.

#4: Reserve your spot

As a part of deregulation you will find many companies offering savings opportunities. The one I personally use requires no sign-up or cancellation fee for residential consumers, uses the exact same utility companies that people have been using all along and actually integrates a process for their users to make money if they are interested. These concepts work very nicely for me, find what works for you and go with it.

#5: Reevaluate the circumstances regularly

In review to find the best savings on power find ways to reduce, redirect, rethink and reserve. In an economy like ours everyone can use a break including you, right?

But we still need to live as aware consumersEven after you reduce, redirect, rethink & reserve you may find other ways to save what you pay on energy bills. Be open to new ideas that make sense for your home and or business. Be ready to take even greater control of your average power bills. Be prepared to retain more profits for you, your wallet and your bank account. Following these strategies are bound to help you save when it comes time to pay your power bill.
